Hello, I own a 68 Firebird that was ordered through Lukens Pontiac in LeMesa California. This is a low mile car that spent its whole life in Southern California, before being imported to Australia. Information from the US seller indicated that the 428 in the car was dealer fitted when the car was delivered. Car was ordered as a base model V8 floor shift manual car with almost no options......which fits the idea of someone looking for a fast car. I can’t find any info on line about the dealer, other than a couple of photographs. I was wondering if anyone on here was familiar with them. Zone 24, dealer 193.
Leigh, I cannot offer any information about Lukens Pontiac but I did recall a discussion about dealer installed 428's from a while back. See: 1968 firebird with stock 428?????? . At that time, the only dealers mentioned that did 428 swaps were Royal Pontiac in Michigan and Myrtle Motors in New York.
So, there is a history of two dealers doing the swap on new Birds so it would be interesting to find a third one. Let us know if you locate any documentation on it.
